Full description
We bet: Gallipoli like this you've never seen.
How? From the belvedere of Torre dell'Alto, riding a horse! To do so, all you have to do is participate in our horseback-guided ride: you will venture into the Porto Selvaggio Natural Park, penetrating its most unexplored part.
A 3-hour ride, which you can enrich with a tasting of Apulian products!
What we will do
I will be waiting for you 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Nardò (LE). Welcoming you to the riding school will be me, your equestrian guide!
When you arrive, you will meet my beloved horses: I will help you get on the saddle with English riding and provide you with the basics of horseback riding so that you can enjoy this experience without any worries.
We will then venture into the Porto Selvaggio Natural Park, taking a route over mixed terrain through thewildest part of the forest. Except for the period from June to September, we will ride to the Bay of Porto Selvaggio; in the summer months we will only wave to the bay in the distance. We will then ride to the Torre dell'Alto, where there is a belvedere that will give us a panoramic view all the way to Gallipoli!
Afterriding about 7 km for a3-hour riding experience, we will return to the riding stables. If we select the"walk + tasting" option, we will find a tasting of typical products awaiting us: taralli, friselle, cold meats, cheeses, meatballs, frittatas, garden vegetables and other Apulian delicacies according to the availability of the day, accompanied by a glass of wine or a non-alcoholic drink.
